Media Release Financial Corporations Act 1974
The Governor of the Reserve Bank has the powers under the Financial Corporations Act 1974 relating to:
- categorisation of registered corporations; and
- exemption of corporations from the application of the Act.
Attached to this Media Release are copies of orders made under the abovementioned powers. Complete lists of registered corporations by category and exempt corporations as at 30 September 1999 are available on request.
Responsibility for the prudential regulation of Building Societies (Category A), Credit Co-operatives (Category B) and special service providers (included in Category J) was transferred to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority on 1 July 1999. As a result, these institutions are no longer subject to the Financial Corporations Act and accordingly have been removed from the Register of Corporations.
